Comedonchisciotte , courageous blog of alternative information, you come across a blog post by Paul Barnard, who can not leave us indifferent. The first feeling one has is that of the punch in the stomach: the finding, threw down with direct words, the victory total capital of Consumer Goods in confonti of any alternative system. Paul Barnard raccota an eloquent manifestation of Forbes, in brazen celebration of victory, a victory so complete that no message launched in more than two centuries of history, with all that has happened
, he survived. There is only the size of the consumer, with its rituals, its deadlines, caused her anxiety, and life is nothing but a scan of time determined by some characters to the right, some of the best thinkers on the planet, that hiring the ruling classes, having limited financial resources, disciplined thinking and compact, for many years, with the sole purpose of building a totalitarian system so as to fade the old regimes of the twentieth century, have built a company with a high consensus in their masses . Barnard, rightly placing the problem of hegemony this "unique thought", identifies a number of possible initiatives, such as the study and the same rules used by opponents, patience, and unfortunately for us (because this is really hard) the need to have a source of funding to put on this " army "of thinkers, so you can start a patient between the peoples of the planet, to find ways to convince millions of people to change their lifestyle.
I would like to comment on an argument that enlargement agree: it is true, the people today, despite the difficulties, indoctrinated by advertising, tempted in every way to consume (even with a sea of \u200b\u200bdebt) until they can spend. But I do not think that this is a temporary crisis, we speak of a global restructuring of the economy, which certainly will leave many workers into unemployment: what we need to see is which is the breaking of balance, because already in Greece, this limit was exceeded (in fact the clashes had already begun before the death of Grigoropoulos). The death of fifteen-ignited a society already full of social tensions, which are obviously exploded at the first opportunity. What may happen, however, is a sort of series of events of violence and uncontrollable anger, with no hope of changing things, just gestures of despair that lead to even bigger trouble. This happens if you have no alternative social and political projects: the consumer society dazzles, it's beautiful, colorful, attractive, and if you can not access all the well-being, which you used, if it arrives later this month, it is clear that living in the concern and frustration, ready to explode at the first opportunity. And this is extremely dangerous if there are no viable alternatives (just makes the game of who's in charge). In short, what we have before, is the classic theme of 'hegemony (as defined by Antonio Gramsci domain
cultural of a group or class that "is able to impose on other groups, through everyday practices and shared beliefs , its points of having regard to their internalization, laying the foundation for a complex system of control ") and that is why I wonder if that group of intellectuals and activists who governed Barnard advocates dedicated to the study and this" war of position ", could not be a new communist party, a truly new international, a new political force workers to intellectuals who do not throw to the winds all the good there was in the history of the movement of the twentieth century.
